Focus On Policies That Will Mitigate Hardship In The Country-PDP Governor Advices Tinubu
One of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors, Gov. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to focus more on policies that will mitigate on the current state of hardship in the country.
Fintiri who gave the advice on Thursday in Abuja during a meeting of the National Reconciliation Committee of the PDP wasn’tcomfortable with the way things are in Nigeria today, saying the economic policies of the Federal Government are imposing severe hardship on Nigerians.
While expressing frustration with the state of the nation’s economy, Fintiri, “Nigeria is bleeding, we are suffering, there is too much anger, and the economic policy is not working. That is why we always call on the Federal Government to reconsider some of these economic policies that are only putting hardship on Nigerians.”
He further emphasized that holding a position of power is a privilege given by God, and therefore, the country must be governed based on trust and responsibility.
“Whatever will make us cry must not be part of your policy because the country belongs to us. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community,” he said.
In his remarks on party unity, Fintiri assured that the three governors governors from the North East and other key stakeholders in the region would work together to strengthen the PDP in the region.
The governor also highlighted the importance of unity in the region, which he believes contributed to the party’s victory in all states of the region during the last presidential election.
“There is no state in the zone that PDP lost. Even the one we lost in Borno, up until now, we are still wondering how we lost that election because we know we did not lose that election in Borno,” he said.
During the meeting, the Chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, acknowledged the factors that led to the party’s loss in the last election.
He identified disunity within the party as a key reason and expressed the committee’s commitment to addressing these issues.
“We are here to interact with our leadership and membership of our great party so that we can discuss where we are falling short of what we were supposed to do, which led to the outcome we witnessed,” Oyinlola said.
